Point to be made here is that only Horner Street had trolley coaches at the
same time as streetcars on the rest of the system, and therefore it was the
only one I mentioned.  All of the other routes were converted from rail to
TC in 1960, and the positive wire was initially the old streetcar wire.
I'll repeat,

trackless on the same wires (at the same time).   Of course I don't have
pictures of cars in every single block ... only a one inch folder of 8x10s.
